What is the hardest thing for us to do? Make decisions. Then:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be insanely stubborn when following your own gut, and if you are ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ (later), it ain’t about having someone to blame, or to ‘vindicate’ yourself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The point of life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To win. (credit to Nassim Taleb for the idea). <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Let me explain the idea in further depth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You never know how good your decision was until way later. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is my thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

99% of the time when you trust your gut, you’re right. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And even in those 1% of the times you are ‘wrong’, you might discover 20 years down the road that you actually did in fact make the ‘right’ decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time reveals all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethics.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Then perhaps it comes down to your personal ethics. Ethics as the art of making decisions — abiding by your own table of values for yourself (not for others). Thus when it comes to personal ethics the thought is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your ethics are only for yourself and not for others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Also:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your personal code of ethics cannot be generalized onto others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
